Shocking: Do you dare to drink such artificially made aged tangerine peel?

Nowadays, the dried tangerine peel market is mixed, and many black-hearted businessmen do not hesitate to use some special means to make aged dried tangerine peel for profit. Not only did it cost money, but it also had a great impact on health.

Authentic dried tangerine peel is naturally aged in the sun. Without special technology, orange peel needs natural aging for three years before it can be called dried tangerine peel. The most famous dried tangerine peel is Xinhui dried tangerine peel, and it is also the dried tangerine peel that has been impersonated the most. Let's take Xinhui Chenpi as an example to talk about the identification method. Let's talk about three methods of artificially making aged tangerine peel on the market at present.

One: Impregnation

This is the earliest practice and is easily recognized. This kind of artificial soaked tangerine peel capsule has no delamination feeling and uniform color. The picture below shows a tea friend buying it at a local drugstore. The shopkeeper told him that it was fifteen years old tangerine peel. In fact, a look at the inner capsule shows that it is fake.

Generally, the inner capsule of dried tangerine peel will fall off for more than ten years, which has a layered feeling. However, the inner capsule of dried tangerine peel did not fall off, but was uniform and dense, which was obviously artificially aged. What's more, some dried oranges can be seen inside when they are peeled off, which really makes people laugh and cry.

Tea lovers who like dried tangerine peel can go to our old dried tangerine peel in Tianma on 15. After fifteen years of vicissitudes, the internal capsule has loosened and fallen off, and the three-dimensional effect is obvious. Friends who understand don't want to miss it at first sight.

Second, fiddling with storage methods.

The same dried tangerine peel, put in cartons, cotton sacks, purple sand cans and iron drums, will have great differences in color and appearance.

For example, the two oranges in the picture below are of the same year, but it is obvious that the peel on the right looks taller than the year on the left. If you are a layman, you can't see it at all.

Thirdly, batch wet treatment.

The aging of dried tangerine peel needs at least three years of natural aging and volatilization. After the replacement of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the perfect dried tangerine peel can be obtained. However, in order to make money quickly, many people will wet treat dried tangerine peel in batches, as shown below:

This wet treatment method is similar to pile fermentation and fermentation in tea. After this special process, the aged dried tangerine peel will come out soon and the price is very cheap.

Chenpi is always exposed to the sun and naturally ages. It takes too much manpower to pick, clean, peel and store each piece of dried tangerine peel, but we think it's worth it, because quality can never fool people.

So, how to distinguish the various fake routines on the market?

? Look at the appearance

Authentic Xinhui tangerine peel has a regular three-petal shape with curly edges. Even after decades of aging, if the shape of dried tangerine peel is still three petals, it is the best.

? Look at this color.

Generally, the pericarp of five to eight-year-old tangerine peel is light brown, with obvious fine lines and bumps, bright luster, and the inner petals naturally turn yellow and white, slightly falling off; The outer skin of old tangerine peel is dark brown, and the inner capsule falls off obviously. When the aged tangerine peel is made, the inner capsule has no floating feeling.

? scrape

Scrape off the epidermis of dried tangerine peel with nails, and highlight the luster where it is scraped.

? smell

Generally, the fructose content of tangerine peel with lower tree age is higher, so it still retains the fresh fragrance of Xinhui orange, which is aging and rich with the growth of tree age.

/kloc-Old tangerine peel over 0/0 years old began to emit medicinal fragrance, and with the growth of years, the medicinal fragrance became more and more rich. Old tangerine peel has sour taste, but the aroma of tangerine peel is not obvious.

? taste

Old tangerine peel is light yellow, transparent and natural, with a slightly fruity entrance. The higher the aging year, the deeper the tea color, the golden yellow color, the less bitter taste, and the smoother, sweeter, more fragrant, more mellow and older the taste.

I hope this article can improve the discrimination level of tea lovers, and everyone needs to pay more attention when buying dried tangerine peel to avoid stepping on the pit.
